Skip was amongst the Decepticons who escaped from Garrus-9 in the company of Shockwave. Like the rest of Shockwave's companions, he was on The List, and had been intended to be handed over to the Decepticon Justice Division in exchange for the number one wanted member being allowed to go free, a deal Tarn rejected.
